This
is Snowy, the cutest and most best budgie in the world! I bought
her from Cambridge for £8.00. I think it's quite inexpensive for a
budgie. Budgies are very common pets and a good beginner pet, too. I
have experienced life with many parrots and birds so I am used to
keeping a budgie. I called her Snowy because of her color, I also could
also have called her: Snowflake or Snowball but I like the name Snowy
best. Snowy seems to agree.

We don't know Snowy's gender because when he/she is three or four months
old her cere will turn into her/his adult color. If you don't know what
a cere is its that bump just above your budgie's beak. You can tell if
your budgie's male or female by the color males have bright blue ceres
while females have brown or pink. But if you get a budgie under three
months old you won't be able to tell if its a boy or a girl. Just wait
until your budgie's over three months old and then you will be able to
see its gender. I still not sure if Snowy's a male or female but I have
a feeling Snowy's a male but I'll not know until Snowy is over three
months.

But don't you think Snowy is the world's cutest budgie? Snowy is not
only cute but friendly, too and can always cheer me up when I am having
a bad day, just with a chirp and a hop. Snowy is the best!
